Overlays

Most established streamers have some sort of overlay system. They can be a lot of fun to play with. You’ll put them in your video with your streaming software, as image, window, or browser sources. For automatic pop up notifications, you will need a third party chat bot or donation service that offers an overlay. Keep in mind that the more you put on screen, the harder it will be for the viewers to notice what’s important!
